Do you remember the Tokai Challenger featuring a solar powered car made by Sharp in collaboration with Tokai University? Now, a commercial product from Tesla – goes for electric car and has announced the world record for the ability to reach 307 km in a single charge, and that is still another 3 miles of electricity left on the car!
This is another big applause for new world record from Tesla on electricity saving car. But wonder if there will be a battery degradation after several recharge? Suppose this is the key question most buyers would like to find out.
For the Tesla Roadster, a single charge is good for 300 more miles. And it would be even better if one day, all electric cars are equipped or has solar panel surfaces built-in with the car’s surfaces, that would do recharge automatically, don’t you think so? However, this car will be available in 2010.
